Is it worth stopping of at places like this anymore to shop for beer + wine.
Must be cheaper in Asda ?
The vino is still a fair bit cheaper. Beer I find cheaper in UK supermarkets

Really??
19 euros for 24 kronenburg I can’t match that price over here and it’s not the slop they brew in burton. 
Stopped there on Friday and before I was even out the truck they had me padlock off

Dont go near the place with a tilt-going in OR out-and only going out with a fridge or box - at least with a frigo they cant cut the roof open and if they hang onto the axles you got half a chance of them falling under the wheels and solving the problem for good!.
I feel sorry for the people who live in Calais-its like being infested with rats and cockroaches and the French government seems unable (or unwilling) to sort things out.

it is still worth it for the wine picked up some merlot from Pidou last week at 12 euros a case reduced from 18 euro a case cheapest today in my local Tesco is £3.49 a bottle so at 2 euro a bottle not a bad buy
And a two grand fine for every hitch-hiker they find on board…well worth it!!!
Stopped in there on Friday.And there was any of them about.Fenced the building site of opposite to where they were congratating.Also had quite a few staff in to.

I park at the dunes. If they get in overnight. I would just get them out in the morning.
Ask Beep Beep Bob on Carr Brothers about that… He tried to get the ■■■■■■■■ off his trailer axles and got jumped from behind and beaten up…why park anywhere around Calais unless broken down-its just inviting trouble.

I asked exactly the same thing in my prize winning letter to Transport News, after they had a load of articles (well ok, 3) in an issue. I was told I was a condescending idiot.
As you’d expect, I was heartbroken at the accusation 
A good friend of mine had 2 on the axles last week in pidou him and another driver got them off and one of them was carrying a knife so be careful out there guys.
I firmly believe it’s only a matter of time before a driver is killed by these ■■■■■ , as reported in ‘the sun’ yesterday about immigrant gangs now fighting amongst them selves over territory’s around the port . They are now tooled up and getting increasingly desparate , I fuel up and beer up at dunquerke at the mo ( until that gets too dodgy ) , and avoid stopping in Calais at all costs . If they get on the fridge leave em where they are and turn over to the French as soon as ur in the port. . Don’t see a point in trying get them off urself
That’s another thing…if they get into a load of foodstuffs or medical supplies and start ■■■■■■■■ and ■■■■■■■ in bags and bottles then the load gets condemned…who pays for that?.
If I am an hour from Calais and out of time I keep driving and ■■■■■■■■ to vosa… there is NO safe parking now anywhere within 3 hours of Calais.
I use the Dunkirk pidou he has got a new building and it seems a lot safer than Calais its getting to a point now that when your loaded for home make sure you can make the boat/train and get over don’t hang around Calais,
seen a wagon parked up not long after Belgium border he was parked at one of them closed laybys and there was two of the illegals just climbing the barrier to try and get in if you look to you right along there just before the 3 lanes at Dunkirk they have some shacks built up in the woods
